Current Activities - 2/12/2012

I'm currently reading Resilience by Andrew Zolli and Ann Marie Healy and Towards a New Socialism by W. Paul Cockshott and Allin Cotrell. I've also read descriptions on the P2P Foundation concerning Wolfgang Hoeschele, Roberto Verzola, Raoul Viktor, and Mark Joob. Perhaps you can separate things in two classes: what is going on, and what to do about it. I'll have to write more once I know more. The model presented here is just a proposal, and the ontologies are likely the hardest part. People must implement them, and it is difficult to get them to do that. See for example John Wilbanks talk titled, "Second-Generation Open Access: Building an Open Content".
